If both Daniels and Thomas are gone you are on your 3rd string for next year. Our base defense is essentially a 4-2-5 until we go against heavy run packages, or at least it was this year. That gives you Robinson & Rogers, with Hutmacher & Riley behind them. That's not bad IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment

I must be nuts as I recall trotting Stille, Robinson and Daniels out together quite often. 2 Quote Link to comment

Only in short yardage, goal line, and personnel matchups such as against Minn and Wisconsin when they put out heavy packages. Not sure if the stat is out there, but I'd bet we only had 2 DL on the field at least 60% of snaps on defense all year Quote Link to comment

Only using 3 lineman in 3 or 4 man fronts doesn't reduce the need for depth at NT/DT at all. Quote Link to comment

It was a little more in that direction later in the year because we played the heaviest running teams, but for a vast majority of the season, the front 4 was Nelson - Stille/Robinson - Daniels/Thomas - Tannor 2 Quote Link to comment

What do you think of Jordan Riley? He's a big body and I thought he flashed a couple times this year, just didn't get a lot of time with a loaded DL roster Quote Link to comment

Guess for long term success I would like to see the young guys step up. Quote Link to comment

No idea if it was true but wouldn't surprise me to see him transfer 1 Quote Link to comment
